Paris FC and Monaco have met only six times in history, and both sides have won three H2H matches. In the previous encounter, the team from the French capital city triumphed 4-1. Also, it is worth noting that only one of the six H2H games has gone under 2.5 goals.
Paris FC team overview
After an excellent 11th-place finish in Ligue 1 last season, Paris FC are taking another step forward. They sit sixth in the standings, but with only three points behind league leader PSG, it wouldn't be surprising to see Liam Rosenior's team in UEFA competitions next season. However, Paris FC lost two of their last three matches and need to get back on track to keep chasing their desired positions. In the most recent outing, Rosenior's team lost 2-1 on the road against Lens. The hosts were excellent, especially in defense, and left Paris FC empty-handed.
Paris FC lost in the previous round, but the head coach, Liam Rosenior, was still satisfied. He explained, "It was a really tough game, between two very well-organized teams. It was a close game. You might think it's crazy, but I'm very proud of my players tonight. Despite the injuries, despite the scenario, despite everything, they fought and gave their all."
Paris FC have problems with injuries. They will be without Luca Koleosho, Jonathan Ikone, and Nhoa Sangui. Also, Adama Camara and Samir Chergui are questionable, and their status will become clearer closer to kick-off. The good news for Paris FC is that Kevin Trapp and Hamari Traore should return to the starting lineup.

Monaco team overview
Monaco weren't on their usual level last season. However, they seem much better in the 2026/27 season and are likely to take their usual place among the best French teams. After eight rounds, Monaco are fourth with two points behind PSG. Recently, they have again slowed in form, with only two wins in their previous five games across all competitions. Last weekend, Monaco played 1-1 at home against Lille. The hosts finished the match with significantly better goal-scoring opportunities, but their inefficiency cost them two points.
Monaco's head coach, Luis Felipe, was disappointed after a draw against Lille. The Brazilian commented, "We tried to unsettle their defense, but Lille defended very well. It's a shame to drop two points at home; it's a very unpleasant feeling, but I take full responsibility for what happened on the pitch."
Ansu Fati and Stanis Idumbo are injured and will not travel to Paris, while Eric Dier is questionable.
